Hey guys!

I'm a second year trying to decide the best way to spend this upcoming summer. This past summer I interned at the NIH, and it was a great experience. Thus, I know there has to be many other programs that'll be just as engaging while allowing me to diversify my experiences. Either from personal experience or general knowledge, I'd love to hear about some great summer opportunities for pre-med.

I did SHPEP, It was great. Had its flaws but it was still a worthwhile experience nonetheless.

Have you tried seeing if your school's pre-health office has an internship list?

There are lots of summer research experiences aimed to increase diversity and inclusion in STEM/Biosciences. When I was an undergrad I participated in them for three of my summers and they were a transformative experience . Many of them are aimed to increase URM student population for graduate programs (PhD and MD/PhD), but every year many pre-meds who want to pursue MD only are accepted.

If you have questions about applying to these I am also help out, I have helped review applications for our school's program in previous years.

I went to Croatia for a couple weeks last summer. That was pretty fun.

Such an extensive list! I appreciate it so much!

Amgen is meant for MD/PhDs, but it’s a fantastic opportunity. You work in a really cool lab, get a generous stipend, and get to travel to the scholars symposium, which is usually in LA.

I say Amgen as well!
